[squid-users] Limiting the bandwidth of certain fyles

Dear users

Please take a moment to read the lines I've added/changed to my
squid.conf file. I run squid on port 80 (http accelelator with proxy)
and apache at port 81
I redirect incoming request for port 80 to port 81 using Iptables.
HOwever, I want my site's visitors to download files (such as .exe,
..zip... ) with a limit (say 10 kb/sec during days, and no limit during
the nights)

However, I've read about pools, acls... discussed a lot with no luck. I
think it's a great use of Squid, I'd really like to be able to limit my
user's download rates. Anyway, here's the file:

#The numbers here are values in bytes;
#we must remember that Squid doesn't consider start/stop bits
#5000/150000 are values for the whole network
#5000/120000 are values for the single IP
#after downloaded files exceed about 150000 bytes,
#(or even twice or three times as much)
#they will continue to download at about 5000 bytes/s
